Basement Carpet Is In

We love the carpet in the basement! Lowes came out and installed the carpet on Thursday. We had a scare because the carpet installer guy said we did not order enough carpet. Turns out the measure person did not measure it right, so it was not our fault. The carpet installer guy went back to Lowes to see if he could get more and they unrolled what they had and it was JUST enough!

It really makes a huge difference. The boys have spent the whole day downstairs playing and running around today. Lee hung the panel door on the sump pump closet today and he has to finish putting up the baseboard. He is also going to paint the moulding and doors white.

We are now saving to buy a drop ceiling to really make it look "finished". I have been sorting through books and toys and putting some of them back out in for the kids to use. All of the stuff went to the storage side of the basement so the carpet could get installed. I am only putting out some of their stuff because it is just too much for them to deal with at one time. I will rotate it every so often and then it will be like all new toys every few months.

We are going to buy another portable heater to set down there since there is only one vent blowing heat into that side of the basement. It really isn't too bad since the TV area is right by the vent and we set up one heater already near there. It is just a pretty big room and another heater on the other side would be extra nice.

I hope the boys enjoy it. Thanks Mom and Dad Daney and Herman for your Christmas and birthday money towards purchasing this carpet! We love it!
